Nearly Departed

I was amazed by the article “Nearly Departed” I can’t believe that the mom of the missing child hit the mom who returned her. At least she apologized after she found out that she actually saved her child instead of stealing her but it was still kind of shocking. Other than that I was really impressed by the little girl who saved the child that was missing. It was also cool how the little girl’s mom went to the bottom of the pool to get her and no one else even knew what was happening. Valer W. did an excellent job on writing this story because it was good and touching to people who may have lost their child before.
